What they DON’T tell you when you’re a teen getting them off, is that you really need to wear the retainers…..FOREVER. If not, your teeth will shift out of position again. Not as severely, but fast forward a few decades and you’ll see. I wore braces 50 years ago and I feel that I could actually use them again now. Just not sure I want the expensive or everything else that goes along with wearing braces. Trying to decide if it’s really important to me or not that my teeth are not movie-star perfect anymore.
